About the Quilter Fund

A Quilter Fund bursary enables pupils, who would otherwise not be able to attend Wells Cathedral School, to access the benefits of a Wellensian education. From musicians to mathematicians, scientists to artists we’re proud that we can offer assistance to so many talented young people. With awards ranging from 5 – 100%, 1 in 6 pupils receive a bursary. So, whether there’s passion for music, sports or something else, every child can ‘be what they are’.

Your monthly gift, whatever the size, is truly life changing. It enables us to plan for the future and ensures we can support bursary recipients for years to come.

Even better, with Gift Aid, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give at no cost to you. If you’re a higher rate tax payer we can claim the basic rate of tax on your donation, and you can reclaim the difference by detailing your charitable gifts on your tax return.

Play your part, give what you can, and give the gift of a Wells Cathedral School education.

Did you know bursaries remove financial barriers for over 100 young people at our school each year? That’s one in six pupils…

Bursaries change lives


The Quilter Fund was launched in memory of former Head Master Alan Quilter and his wife Sheila. Alan championed access to education without financial barriers.

“I do not believe we should ever underestimate the ability of young people…”
